Everyone knows that one of the ways to get the best out of your employees is to pay them more because the essence of working is so that you can get paid and earn a living.</p><p>It not illogical if you assume that teachers will be willing to put in more effort or at least me more enthusiastic about their jobs if they get paid more, and if they work harder on their jobs then most likely, the students will obviously fair better.</p><p>It's just like when the price of steem/SBD went up last year, people where a lot more enthusiastic about making posts and as such they worked harder because they knew they were earning more, as a result the overall number and quality of posts that were created increased.</p><p>Teachers are no different and if a teacher is paid better then they'll work harder. The truth is that an increase in salary will solicit an increase in performance on the parts of the teachers and if we assume that the performance of a student is directly proportional to how well the teacher teaches the students then an increase in salary would actually be a good thing.</p><p>At the same time, let's not forget that when teachers are paid more, they don't need to worry about making money elsewhere and as such they can focus more time on their jobs and students. It's easy to enter the class, blurt out everything you need to say then step out and go and do something else that'll give you money, but when you're paid well, your major concern becomes how well you can perform to keep your well paying job.</p><p>Let's not forget that if you increase the overall amount that teachers are paid, it will make the profession a lot more attractive and will thus attract greater minds to the profession. The reason why IT and oil companies have such smart employees is because they pay well, if teachers are paid well then better people will apply to become teachers and even be more than happy to got to college and study an education based course just so they can become teachers.</p><p>Dedicated teachers are what's needed to boost the performance of kids in school today and if the pay is reasonable then there's no reason why a teacher wouldn't be dedicated to their job and their students.</p><p>I hope this helps.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkas6ge85","appParentAuthor":"mocoyoton","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
